FOREST AND STREAM. 



[Dec. 9, 1893. 



the qiaestion. Mr. John Read superintended with his accus- 

 tomed ability. He is a host in himself, and a show cannot 

 go far wrong when he is about, and, besides, he always helps 

 the poor reporter in every po.ssible way; still, he should put 

 his foot down for rotation of numbers. 



The quality of the dogs was on the whole excellent, but 

 this part is treated more fully in our critical report. We 

 cannot refrain from saying a word about the catalogue; it. 

 was well and completely arranged and printed in attractive 

 style; there were, of course, some errors in entering, in fact, 

 rather too many, but this is accounted for by not sroing to 

 press till the Thursday before the show. The catalogues fur- 

 nished the press were' the best we have ever seen; between 

 each printed page were two blank sheets securely fastened 

 in and not, as is too often the case, just gummed in to fall 

 out at the first turn. A number of the A. K. C. pictures of 

 noted dogs adorned the pages. 



The members of the executive committee. President, 

 Edward H. Radel; Vice-Pre.-idents, Edwin Field, M.D., 

 Charles Heath, W. O. Kuebler; Secretary, W. F. Seidler, 

 M.D.; Treasurer, R. R. Moore; Edward R. Christopher, 

 Chairman; Walter Browe. A. A. Eisele, August Hahne, M. 

 A. Hanchett, Frank Linck, E. H. Morris, Dr. L. R. Sattler 

 and W. J. Whelan, were untiring in their efforts to make 

 every one satisfied. There is .such^a thing as killing one with 

 with iitidness, and the president came very near committing 

 murder in thLs respect. Luncheons, dinners, etc., were en- 

 joyed by nearly every visitor at one time or another during 

 the show; in fact tbe.se men could not do enough for the 

 '"regulars." A pleasing feature of the first day was a 

 luncheon given by the following ladies' committee to Mrs. 

 "^Tiitney and her friend: Mrs. A. Hahne in the chair, Mrs. 

 M. Hanchett. Mrs. A. A- Eisele, Mrs. E. H. Radel and Mrs. 

 W. O. O. Kuebler. 



The regular judging was all completed by the first day, 

 and considering there were only three rings this was pretty 

 good. The big dogs were bunched on the ground floor and 

 smaller ones upstairs. .Judging gave in most cases satis- 

 faction, though in one or two instances that we allude to 

 in the proper place there was some little kicking. 



Who was there!' Well, pretty nearly all the fanciers 

 found New York. Among the best known we saw James 

 Mortimer, R. L. Banks, Jr., Dr. LougesL, R. P. Keasby, A. 

 C. Wilmerding. E. M. Oldham, C. H, Mason, Ed. Booth, A. 

 M. Hughes, E. W. Fiske, Fred. Schmitt, Jchn Finlayson, W. 

 H. Thomas, Dr. Arbery, A. H. Heppner, C. D. Berfiheimer, 

 H. W. Huntington, H. S. Pitkin, A. L. Page. -Joseph Lewis, 

 H. M. Nelson, W. Tallman, Major J. M. Taylor, C. J. 

 Peshall, A. D. Lewis. H. D. Cromwell, A. C. Pick'bfirdt, Mr. 

 Hooper, Geo. W . La Rue, C. A. Bradburv, German Hopkins,

 Lewis,' Mr.s. Gilmore, Mrs. Buclde, etc. 



Mastiffs (fi. Mead. Judge).— the exception of Dr. 

 Lougest's entries there was Jittle quality shown, and the 

 entry was therefore poor, all things considered, the Ma.stiff 

 Cluti members not coming to the front, as they should do 

 •when their secretary judges. There were no challenge dogs 

 and Ethel was not in shape, and as she is not really up to 

 challenge form Mr. Mead cannot be blamed for withholding 

 first. The dog class (6) had two good ones, improving all the 

 time, Emperors William and Maximilian, that were fully 

 described at Providence; third went to Duke IV., whose 

 faults are straight stifles, poor body, faulty ears, but head 

 fairly well shaped. Jefferson needs depth of body, has good 

 legs, head well shaped, but a bit long. Open bitches (4) saw 

 a repetition of Providence, and the winner, Lady Diana, is 

 coming along all the time. Her hindlegs are her worst 

 feature, too straight. There were no puppies. The specials 

 all fell to Dr. Lougest's kennel. 



St. BERKAF.D.S (Mi>>)i A. H. IVldiney, Judge).— There was 

 quite a gathering of these handsome dogs, and of course with 

 our best kennels represented there was lots of quality, but 

 on the other hand some of the classes were made up of 

 rather poor stufi'. Several of the best dogs were not in good 

 condition as to coat and flesh, and should really have been 

 kept in their kennels. The challenge roughs were repre- 

 sented by Otos and Princess Florence in their respective 

 classes. Otos looked in full bloom, but the Princess was 

 dead out of coat, with a tail like a rat. It is not justice to 

 the bitch to show her at a disadvantage in this way, and she 

 clearly lost the other half of the special for best in the show 

 through this. Excepting coat she looked as well as hands 

 could make her, and Mr. Hughes has now a" chance to keep 

 the curls down. In open dogs (19) Marvel and Roland, Jr., 

 held their New York positions, but Marvel was dead out of 

 shape and should not have been shown. This doe requires 

 to be shown in full coat or not at all. His genuine St. Ber- 

 nard quality, Ijone and head pulled him through. Roland, 

 Jr., an improving dog, looked well, but is not in the .same 

 class when quality or tyi e is considered. Lord Walbeck, 

 third, has a very pleasing head— deep and square and well 

 marked; good bone, body dips a bit, and was shown light 

 Ashland Jnmbo is light in body, should be stronger in pas- 

 terns, have more blaze, but has improved in head on his 

 spring form. That typical good little dog, Lothario, I think 

 might have been higher up, and no mistake would have been 

 made if he had been second or at least third. Of the 

 others I liked Royal B.; had he more stop his 

 head would be a [very good one, excellent bone, nice body, 

 coat and hindlegs; he is a big dog, too, and will do to' 

 watch. Ben Butler is another typical dog and well deserved 

 his letters, muzzle a bit narrow, skull good and in other 

 parts and condition he is above the average; he is a bit nar- 

 row behind. The others call for no particular mention 

 Open bitches (12) were not so good on the whole. Between 

 Miss Anna and Simray there is little to choose, for though 

 the former excels in quality Sunray beats her in size, bone, 

 depth and massiveness of head, body and legs, and had she 

 shadings would be near the top, having improved in head 

 considerably. Lady Bountiful is plain [in head and out of 

 coat and faulty behind, otherwise well shown. Surprise 

 needs more stop, has a plain, hounfly head and was out of 

 coat, very good bone. M'ibs .lerome I like better in head, 

 good legs and bone, and all things considered, can beat her 

 kennel mate. Counte.ss Mad^e, vhc, well deserved her let- 

 ters; and should have been third, for I.>ady Bountiful has too 

 little white and not nearly so good a head. Madge has the 

 best shaped head in the class, in fact a splendid head, but her 

 almost white face is very much against her, markings must 

 be considered. Glenisla deserved another letter. Novices 

 were a big turnout and bad to judge, nothing ver^' striking. 

 Imperatoi''s .size and quality, bone and .coat ofl'set his faulty 

 hindlegs and Hat rib. Lan.sanne has a very poor long , houndy 

 head, uo blaze and was out of coat. Ashland Jumbo should 

 have beaten her, better type all round. Sir PJinlimmon is 

 quite a fair dog, nice head, but eye too deeply .set, and is 

 light in rib and body. Wieland is a very taking dog, rich 

 color, head well shaped, though a trifle short, and is a bit 

 faulty behind, was in good coat and well deserved his let- 

 ters; he is a better dog than Lausanne. Vindex II. must de- 

 pend on a good head, deep and massive, for his hind parts 

 and body show his .strain too much. Space will not permit 

 of an extended notice of all mentioned dogs, but we may 

 say Tonzo's excellent front and coat offset his faulty hind- 

 legs and rather plain head. There were four vhc. and five 

 he. cards in this class. The winning dog puppies were fairly 

 good. In bitches I liked Miss Amanda, lots of quality and 

 a nicely formed bead, with well boned legs, she was easily 

 first. 



The smooths were a mixed lot. In challenge dogs cham- 

 pion Scottish Leader, looking as he generally does, fit and 

 well, seemed a rather subdued dog this show and conse 

 quently improved in expre.s.sion. Empress of Contoocook gets 

 deeper and deeper in body, but is still the same old sweet- 

 ness. In open dogs (8) I hardly agree with the placings. 

 Major Plon Plon is faulty in front, only a fair head, but shows 

 more character than .second; his worst fault is' that he is 

 not a smooth, too much coat by far. Chester, second, is a 

 smooth, but is not at all straight in front, washy in coloring, 

 a fair head, but hottndy, no shadings, is straight behind; his 

 tail has been shortened and it curls over. There was only 

 one in it — Belisarius, a smooth and worth two of either of 

 the others; his head and front alone, to say nothing of coat, 

 entitled him to a more prominent position; though fatxlty 

 behind, he is better than either of the others. Ray is straight 

 in stifie and a light eye spoils an otherwise fair head, he is 

 small, too. Ctesar V. was second at New York last spring 

 as a puppy and has improved. Nemo II. is faulty at both 

 ends, but of fair type. Rome has little to commend but 

 markings. In bitches (6) the hotxndy Bellegarde won easily 

 and was well shown. Sunol lacks markings and her muz- 

 zle needs squaring, nice skull, coat and legs. The well- 

 known Charmion came third; she has a nice type of head, 

 but her hindparts are not as they should be, tail and legs 

 faulty, In novices {'>) Chester won, the other not aescribed 

 yet, Duke of .Jersey, is wretched behind and Leader of Essex 

 I failed to find. The puppies (3) were only moderate, with 

 the exception of Hellgate Keeper, whose rather houndy head 

 shows, nevertheless, some character; he is not abovereproach 

 in hindlegs. The specials will be found in their proper place 

 and the judge had evidently changed Jier mind about Ash- 

 land Jumbo, for I see that when judged again for special 

 for best owned in New .Jersey he beat Lausanne. 



Bloodhounds (Jam es Mrrnimer, Judrye),— There were only 

 two, but good ones. Our old friend Belhus, of course, was 

 to the front and a son of Jack the Ripper, ten months old, 

 showing excellent wrinkle, leather and length of head, but 

 of course not furnished yet behind that, came second. 



Newfoundlands (Miss A. H. WInlney, .IucIqc).— Only two 

 and had .Leo had a brush on him and coat straightened out, 

 he could not have lost to Carlo, well known, but small and 

 out of cost. 



Great Danes (^1. H. I/eppncr, Judge).— Qnite a number 

 of them were benched, but on the whole, quality was de- 

 ficient. Many of the dogs were coarse and heavy; they were 

 well judged. No challenge entries. In open dogs, (12) 

 a .strapping big dog in Yarrum took the blue from Hepburn 

 Hero, better in front and shoulders but not so good in body 

 and head, a bit coarse. Schult Hero is faulty in front and 

 muzzle, a bit too broad in .skull and has a curled tail, other 

 wise fair; his color is peculiar. Some well known dogs got 

 letters deservedly. Open bitches (-3) had nothing to come 

 near Hepburn Flora Belle, a well made one all round and 

 very typical, does not carry tail just right and her toes turn 

 in slightly. Malta is rather a nice sort too and beats Flora 

 in iTont and condition, the latter seemingly in whelp and 

 quite fat. A fair puppy was shown in Thor. 

 ' Russian Wolfhounds (Jdhn lirctt, Judge). — A charming 

 lot of these handsome hounds were benched, and it is very 

 evident that America is making rapid strides in breeding 

 specimens that, according to acceptable theories, should hold 

 their own in almost any competition. .Judged on the lines 

 of the older importations they are immensely superior, if we 

 are to judge them as of greyhound breed. The challenge 

 class had A rgoss, Zerry, Princess Irma aud "\'inpa, a quar- 

 tette of quality very pleasing to .«ee. Argoss and Zerry were 

 rightly at the head of aS'airs aud were well shown. In fact 

 the way -John Stokes put this kennel down was a reminder 

 of the old days \vhen Duke of Leeds led in condition In 

 open dog.s (5) the haudsome Leekhoi, full of quality and a 

 type all his own, though not in his Providence form, won 

 nicely over Peter the Gi-eat, who is rather coar.se, compara- 

 tively, be in turn beating Nagrajdai in head, chest and ribs, 

 but losing in bone. Alexis was outclassed among these. The 

 bitch class (2) was poor and first was rightly withheld. This 

 judge wants good legs on a hound. Veatka is better in fore- 

 legs than Raskeda, who has grown badly there, but from the 

 shoulder back I think she beats the second winner, especially 

 as the latter has such shockingly pricked ears, though this 

 may not have shown in the ring. The two puppies, about a 

 year old, Irmina and Riga, black and white and as like as 

 two peas, are charming animals, well grown, in excellent 

 .shape and very sweet in quality. They are a credit to their 

 breeding. 



Dkerhounds (John Brett, Judge).— Entries here were 

 small. In open dogs (2) a dog we spoke of recently as a 

 coming winner, bore out his promise, for Lochiel is a well- 

 built hound, excellent coat, legs and loin and good strong 

 head; he ^won well over Douglas. Minna was alone in 

 bitches and deserved her win. 



Greyhounds (John Brett, Judfye).— A' capital lot as a 

 whole and competition keen, but they were well judged in 

 most iusiances on practical lines. Maud Torrington is show- 

 ing age and looked a bit soft and had to give way to Best- 

 wood Daisy in all round quality; champion Spiuaway was 

 absent. In open dogs (11), a nice lot walked in and a capital 

 dog, Norway Cross a brother of the noted coursing bitch 

 Buenrita, was placed ahead of the well known Cheeky, who 

 has now tacked Charlie to his name and lost some of his 

 flesh, and is cleaner in shoulders but was not in condition, 

 here Cross excelled him, a bit faulty in feet and head, but a 

 well put up greyhound. Snowball "has grown up well too, 

 but he is bad in feet and shoulders not oblique enough. Bees- 

 wing is a nicely made dog, weak in muzzle, but his good 

 body and legs deserved his recognition. Dallas loses in 

 quarters and loin and head is poor. Dakota will take a 

 higher place when developed, he is a (Jreeutick pup. The 

 bitch class had three good ones, Wild Rose winning, and 

 nicely shown, over Mi,s3'Dollar III. and Drytirne, both fresh 

 from their work on the W^estern plains. Nellie's Girl has 

 also been out before, but was a little outela.ssed here and so 

 was Maid, third, who should give way to Drytirne, reserve, 

 as the latter excels her in size, feet and ribs. Some nice 

 whippets were shown, five in all and contrary to custom, 

 they were of correct size. Newark is a center for this breed. 



Pointers (J. H. Winsloiv, Ji(dye)— [Sfecial Report].— 

 The pointer classes had a large entry and ttie quality was 

 above average. In heavy weight challenge class for dogs, 

 Pontiac had a walk over. Tempest being ab.seut, and old 

 Graphic, looking very well, not being for competition. Pon- 

 tiac, the winner, was in fine shape and in him Mr. Thomp- 

 son, who has but lately purchased him, has got a treasure. 

 Breeders should not ne.glect this dog too long, he caunot 

 last forever. His blood is of the very best, and barring one 

 or two faults he is as good as the best. 



In challenge heavy weight bitches Woolton Game was the 

 only entry, and she having met with an accident in being 

 conditioned was absent, 



In the open class (7) for dogs— 55 pounds and over — the 

 Spring.side Kennels' Hylas of Naso rightly proved the win- 

 ner; he has a good head, muzzle might he cleaner, fair neck, 

 ears nicely carried, a bit heavy in leather, shoulders heavy, 

 loin and hind parts good, stands rather wide in front and 

 not always true; a dog showing much pointer character, but 

 hardly quality enough. The same kennels' Ridgeview Panic, 

 Mr. Wiuslow placed second here; 1 differ with him; I liked 

 Mr. Heath's Roswell for second; Panic is too wide in skull, 

 muzzle too short and not clean enough, eyes light, neck 

 good, slightly throaty, shoulders loaded, legs want more 

 bone, stands back on his pasterns, feet not the best, chest 

 good depth, ribs should be better sprung, loin and hind parts 

 good; in these parts he has improved over his last year's 

 form, but as a whole I don't think he is looking better. 

 Roswell, third, by Pontiac.out of Bloom, is a new liver and 



white with a good head, which would be improved with- 

 more length in muzzle, ears good and well carried, eyes a 

 trifle light, expression good, neck a bit throaty, but nice 

 length and well set on shoulders, which are hardly clean 

 enough, legs and feet good, chest might be deeper, ribs well 

 sprung, loin fair, stifles well bent, a trifle light in second 

 thighs; this, however, will be improved with age and more 

 muscle; stern fine, but too long and abominably carried. 

 Does not handle his hindparts as well as I should like; this, 

 however, is due, I believe, to his overgrowth for his age, he 

 being but 13 months old. He is a dog showing good pointer 

 character, lots of qtiality and is certainly a nice puppy, unless 

 he grows coarse will make his mark some day. Dave took, 

 the reserve card; he has not got a good head, skull too broad, 

 muzzle short, not clean enough, ears poorly hung, neck 

 throaty, is out at elbows, feet poor, good middle piece, and 

 hindparts good, stern carried a bit gaily. Vhc. went to 

 Heather and Signal W. Heather I prefer to Dave in head, 

 legs and feet, eyes light, ears not properly carried, muzzle 

 rather snipy and not clean enough, neck good, well set on 

 shoulders, feet fair, good legs, bone, middle piece and hind- 

 parts; too straight in stifles, stern fair. Signal W. is plain 

 in bead, ears thick in leather and not w^ell hung, good neck 

 and shoulders, rather leggy, feet poor, stern coarse, too long 

 and not properly carried. Mark Anthony, he, a liver and 

 white, not nicely marked, and liver not dark enough, skull 

 broad, ears thick, heavy in shoulders, wide in front, barrel 

 too round, back on pasterns; feet poor, slack in loin, stern 

 fair. 



In open bitches, 501bs. and over. Lady Tammany had~a 

 walkover, Bloomo II, and Westminster Ina of the."Rinada 

 Pointer Kennels being absent. Lady Tammany is too broad 

 in skull, is cheeky, nice muzzle, fair eye, ears too heavy, 

 shoulders fair, legs and feet good, ribs nicely sprung, long 

 in loin, nicely bent stifles, light in second thighs, good, 

 stern— a rather nice bitch, 



-Duke of Hesseu, looking splendidly, and Rock II,, met 

 in challenge light-weight class for dogs; the deci.sion never 

 was in doubt; Rock II. is hardly in the same clas.s with 

 Duke. Rock is too broad in skull, cheeky, eyes stary, muz- 

 zle not clean euough, neck too short and throaty, heavy in 

 shoulders, does not stand quite true in front, ])ack on hia 

 pasterns and not the best of feet: too long in body; if he- 

 stood higher on his le^s he would be much improved in 

 general coutour. In the same class for bitches Fan N. had 

 a walkover. She has a nice skull; with more length of 

 muzzle she would be improved; neck short and heavy, less 

 good but too short for length of her body, shoulders should 

 be cleaner, feet fair*. 



In open class for dogs, under 5.51bs., I differ with Mr. 

 Winslow considerably. Hempstead Ijuck, whom he placed 

 first, I like for third place and Ridgeview Tenuy, the reservs, 

 I should have placed first. I however understand that at 

 the time of judging Tenney showed up very badly. Bang 

 I should have left second and Ridgeview Fauwt, thir(L 

 would have been the re-serve. Hempstead Luck is a good 

 fronted dfig. His sktill is too wide, and his frontal bone too 

 prominent, muzzle might be longer and cleaner, earw should 

 haug better, eyes a trifle too light, has a nice neck, shoulders 

 cotild be cleaner, legs and feet good, nice chest au<l ribs,, 

 hind parts Kood, but stern if finer would be imfiroved, how- 

 ever, it is ^vell made, but carried a hit saily. A dog showing 

 good pointer charactei', was in excellent "condition, as were 

 in fact all the eutries of Hempstead Farm, Bang took 

 second. A good-fronted dog, with good skull, muzzle might 

 be cleaner aud squarer, ears heavy m leather and not extra 

 well carried, a good length of neck a bit throaty, has excel- 

 lent shoulders, legs and feet, might be deeper in chest, loin 

 long but strong, hind parts good, stifle straight, stern good. 

 A dog .showing character, but not enough quality, un- 

 doubtedly of good breeding were his pedigree known, 

 Ridgeview Faust, third, should have had the reserve. He is 

 too cobby in btiild, neck short and heavy, shoulder.s poor, 

 back on his pasterns and not true in front, although better 

 there than last year, loin and hind parts good. Advance, 

 reserve, I do not like, too wide iu front, skull broad, cheeky, 

 muzzle not clean, eyes light, plain headed, nice neck, shotil- 

 ders poor, back on his pasterns, feet fair, behind hLs shotil- 

 ders nicely made. Ridgeview Tenny, vhc, impressed me as 

 being the best one in his class. He is by no means, though, 

 the good one he has been cracked up to be, good skull, 

 cheeky, muzzle clean, hardly deej) enougli, ears not well 

 carried, excellent neck, hea\'y in shoulders, might be closer 

 at the elbows, does not stand true in front, back on his 

 pasterns, feet only fair, nice body, loin and hind parts, stern 

 well made, but carried too high. Speculation, he, is not the 

 right kind and Mr, Winslow treated him kindly. He has a 

 nice ear, fair legs and feet aud a well-made stern, otherwise 

 there is not much to his ci-edit. Chancellor, of the Rinada 

 Pointer Keunels, was the only ab=cntee. 



Open bitches under .50lbs. (11), two absentees, Rinftda 

 Pointer Kennels' Ridgeview Lass and Brackette. Here again 

 I differ with Mr. Winslow; Hempstead Kit given the reserve, 

 should undotibtedly have been first. She is by far the best 

 in the class, and I like her as well as any bitch in the show. 

 Wild Lily who took first I should have liked for second 

 place. Springside Nell, third, suited me. Fan Fan II. the 

 bitch that took secoufl I liked for the reserve. I have been 

 told that at time of judging, Hemp.stead Kit would not show 

 herself to advantage. Wild Lily is well knovvu, .she is now 

 in the challenge class and Mr. Lovell is to be congratulated. 

 She is uot my style of a bitch and some whom she has beaten 

 I prefer. I think when bred that she should make an ex- 

 cellent brood bitch. Fan Fan II., second, nice head, ears 

 good, eyes light, muzzle would be improved with more 

 length, neck good, shoulders, legs and feet good, barrel too 

 round, hind parts fair. Springside Nell, third, barring 

 a rather long body and a trifle of legginess, suits me. She 

 has a nice head, good neck and .shoulders, legs and feet 

 excellent, wonderful bone, chest might be deeper; with 

 more age she will let down a bit I think, and it will 

 take a good one to beat her. Hempstead Kit, reserve, a good 

 bitch, with a nice head, eyes a bit light, nice neck, shoulders, 

 legs aud feet, good depth of chest, splendid loin and hind 

 parts, a bitch showing much character and quality. She 

 beats the winner iu head, shoulders, feet aud loio, Vhc. 

 Bloom, Miss Lancashire aud Hempstead Duchess, Bloom, a 

 bitch showing quality and character, is well known; Miss 

 Lancashire, skull broad, cheeky, nice muzzle, ear poorly 

 hung, good neck, shoulders poor, barrel too round, front legs 

 badly turned out, back on her pasterns, feet only fair, loin 

 aud hind parts good; rightly placed. Hempstead "Duchess is 

 a bitch much the same type in body as Miss Lancashire, but 

 has good forelegs and feet, is straight in stifle, skull too 

 broad, muzzle not clean enough, Sally Kent, he, not good 

 in head, eye light aud stary, nice neck, too long in body, 

 shoulders fair, legs and feet good, stern fair' should stand 

 higher on her legs. In pjuppies, dogs, Count of Kent, a rather 

 promising puppy, won first. Talisman, outside his well made 

 head, has not much to recommend him. In bitch puppies 

 Counte.ss Kent, a sister to the whining dog puppy, properly 

 won. She should have been in Ijetter shape. The specials: 

 American Field cup for best pointer dog or bitch, rightly 

 won by Dtike of Hessen; $10 for the best dog in open classes, 

 owned by member of Pointer Club, was won by Cbas. Heath's 

 Roswell; the same for best bitch was won by Wild Lily; the 

 kennel prize was won by Springside Kennels. I prefer 

 Hempstead Farm. Mr. Arnolt's special was won by Hylas- 

 of Naso. RtKADA. 



English Setters (John Brett, Judf/e).- Considering the 

 time of year when the English setter man's fancy turns to 

 field trials aud the pursuit of Bob White there was a good 

 lot of this breed benched. Old champion Paul Gladstone 

 wasN. F. C, unfortunately, or he would have booked another 

 win to his count. In challenge bitches the pretty Spectre beats.
